To Hideyoshi, the Oriental clown.

Er is brutal and unkind, Yelang is arrogant, starts a war in vain, destroys the country with a Taoist army, burns its eight roads, destroys its army, kills its people, robs its prefectures and counties, burns and loots all evil, and the bad deeds are hard to write, and the Korean fathers and elders have been suffering for a long time, and their expectations for the arrival of the soldiers of tomorrow are like a long drought and looking forward to the rain.

The heavenly soldiers have arrived, Pyongyang in the first war, Kaesong in the second war, and Seoul in the third war, all of them have annihilated 100,000 troops without a way, and the sharp soldiers of the heavenly soldiers are invincible and unfavorable, all of which are caused by the loss of morality! Today, 100,000 soldiers gathered in Busan, the remnants of Er were all awarded, and the sailors of Er were all sunk to the bottom of the sea and buried in the belly of the fish.

Admiral of the Ming Dynasty, Jiliao, Baoding, Shandong and other places, Xiao Ruxun, the chief military officer of the anti-sea and imperial wars.

The merchant trembled in more popular Japanese and explained the meaning of the letter to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had been looking at him with very strange eyes, and then reached out to take the letter, cut off the merchant's head with a wave of his hand, and handed the letter to a monk.

"Come!"

The monk was so frightened that he just kowtowed and begged for mercy, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi lost his patience, waved his hand down, and handed the letter to another monk.

"Come!"

The monk was relatively quiet, did not scream like the rest of the people, after taking the letter, he looked at it, raised his head and said: "Taige, this is the letter of Xiao Ruxun, the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, Jiliao, Baoding, Shandong and other places, and the one who attacked the Nago House should be the Ming ......."

Before the words were finished, another knife was blown.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi wiped his knife and complained to the frightened and inexplicable guards beside him, "What are you doing?" Can't even find a literate person?! It's obviously a rebel, but it can be seen as a Ming army! It's ridiculous! Look for it again! Can't find it, just for you! ”

The guards were shocked, and immediately rushed out, crawling and crawling, so embarrassed that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the only one left in the main hall, looking at the letters in his hands, ignoring the corpses everywhere, and muttering - not even a literate person.

He was destined to find someone who could read.

Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui were much more sensible here, they got very definite news, it was not Toyotomi Hideji and Maeda Toshiya who attacked Nagoya, this frustrated duo was probably crying somewhere in the capital, and they didn't have the heart to rebel at all, and it was the enemy they didn't want to encounter the last time they attacked Nagoya - the Ming army.

The Ming army sailors, hundreds of large outrageous warships across the sea near the Nagoya, from time to time on the Nagoya Castle shelling, hit the people in the Nago House panic, and even sent a force to attack the Nago House before, the thousands of troops outside the city did not last long to be defeated, the corpses were all over the field, the Ming army easily retreated after a call, and wrote a letter to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the content of the letter is not clear for the time being.

However, reason does not mean that there is no fear, Tokugawa Ieyasu hates things that cannot be controlled in his hands, whether it is a friend or an enemy, everything that is beyond his control will be the object of his jealousy, and he will try his best to get rid of him, but this time the object he encountered is an existence that he can't get rid of or even dare not do at all.

The Ming army and the Ming Empire behind him.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's face turned purple, and he couldn't help but set his eyes on his brain.

The lips of the rare famous military division trembled, perhaps thinking of his eldest son who died tragically in Korea, or thinking of the artillery fire of the Ming army, he instinctively sensed that the day before this big operation was about to be carried out, the attack of the Ming army would completely disrupt his original foolproof arrangement, and his arrangement would be completely turned into ashes with the artillery fire of the Ming army.

"Since the Ming army is here, it proves that the Nine Ghosts Jialong is finished, the last army in Busan is also finished, the Ming army has completely recovered Korea, the Ukita Hideya family is completely finished, and all the descendants under Toyotomi Hideyoshi have been lost, including Tsushima Island may be occupied by the Ming army, and we have lost 150,000 elite soldiers and tens of thousands of young and strong people."

With trembling lips, the rare famous military division did his best to keep his brain running and did his best to perform his duties.

Tokugawa Ieyasu swallowed, and it was always a nuisance to find that things were going beyond his imagination.

"Will the Ming Dynasty officially attack Japan?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu was most concerned about this issue.

The rare famous military division was stunned again, and after a while, when Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but ask again, Kuroda Rushui slowly shook his head, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was relieved, thinking that Kuroda Rushui would say no, but Kuroda Rushui blurted out that he didn't know.

"I don't know, I don't know what that letter is written about, today's attack is probably just a warning, or rather...... It was a temptation, a test of our strength and the strength of Nagoya, as evidenced by the fact that the Ming fleet did not leave, and they might continue to shell and continue the attack, and seize a certain port around it as a military port to station troops, if once the Ming ships stayed, it meant that they were ready to attack. ”

"Taige has completely angered Mingguo, right? Is it right that Ming will retaliate like crazy? ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't hold back the fear in his heart.

"I don't know, I don't know, judging from the current situation, if the Ming Kingdom wants to officially attack, it is absolutely impossible to just have a few hundred ships, there will be more ships coming, we can't resist the artillery of the Ming army at all, we can only retreat, and we can't fight a naval battle, our ships can't be loaded with artillery at all, but the ships of the Ming army are full of artillery, and they will be sunk before the battle."

Kuroda Rushui's mood is in turmoil.

"What about our plan...... No...... What are we going to do? Taiko will definitely let us go to Nagoya to help defend it! What are we going to do? ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't want to fight with the Ming army in his heart, he didn't want to have a conflict with the Ming army, he just had the ambition to replace Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but he didn't have the ambition to covet the mainland, he also knew very well that attacking the mainland was definitely the way to death, and it was impossible for Japan to annex the Ming Dynasty, so don't even think about it.

"We ...... We can only respond to all changes with the same, we know too little information to analyze at all, what the Ming army wants to do, we have to send people to understand, and we also need to know what kind of thoughts Hideyoshi has......"

Kuroda Rusui can't go on, his heart is upset, he can't make the most accurate judgment, and this is the scene that Tokugawa Ieyasu doesn't want to see the most, he is not good at dealing with emergencies, he needs someone to analyze and help him plan, help him make a plan, and then deal with it slowly, and pay a lot of time for this to ensure his big victory.

"In just a quarter of an hour, the Ming army defeated more than 2,000 people in Taige, and they still have so many artillery, I will never allow my soldiers and horses to fight with the Ming army, absolutely not!"

Although Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't know how to deal with the matter in front of him, the bottom line was to insist, that is, he would never allow his own strength to be greatly damaged, especially in such a situation where a strong enemy was coming.

"Hideji will soon think of you, and he will soon let you join Nagoya to help in the battle, which you can know without thinking about it."

Kuroda Rushui suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "The elite 150,000 of the Western Army is finished, we have lost half of our military strength, Hideyoshi will also bring 100,000 Eastern troops to accompany the funeral, and the whole of Japan will be destroyed by him, with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and the population of the Ming Kingdom, as long as they are willing, it is not difficult to occupy the whole of Japan." ”

"Then what if we come into direct contact with Mingguo?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly said something that Kuroda Rusui couldn't ignore, and Kuroda Rusui didn't think that such words would come out of Tokugawa Ieyasu's mouth.
